Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Greece
- Turkey
How they compare
Greece currently reports 0.0051 Mt CO2e against 0.0046 Mt CO2e in Turkey, a difference of 0.0005 Mt CO2e.
That makes Greece's figure about 1.1 times Turkey's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Greece ahead.
Greece ranks 90th and Turkey ranks 92nd of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greece averaged higher in 1 and Turkey in 5.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
